People have turned out in huge numbers for nationwide protests against Israel's military actions and restrictions on aid into Gaza. The marches in more than 40 locations nationally were backed over 250 community organisations, including unions and prominent public figures. It comes days after famine was declared in Gaza City, where Israel is poised to intensify its military assault.
